Hughey Law A Professional Corporation provides guidance to individuals named as trustees or as executors of estates. I help ensure that you successfully uphold your fiduciary duties.

Credit shelter trusts (CST)

Incentive trusts

Meticulous administrative services

I have the extensive experience in all duties expected of a trust administrator, including:

Investment of assets

Management of assets

Preparation of tax returns

Distributions to beneficiaries

A trustee can be personally liable for mistakes or omissions that result in losses for the trust. I offer sound advice to trustees to ensure accurate and complete compliance with all aspects of trust administration. If you have been named a trustee, I strongly recommend that you retain professional assistance from a trustworthy source.

Estate administration

I can guide you through all aspects of probate and estate administration, including:

Filing the will with the Pennsylvania probate court

Developing the best strategy for fairly and expeditiously probating the estate

Finding and collecting assets

Closing and opening bank accounts

Transferring assets from the deceased to the estate

Paying estate taxes

Valuing, managing, preserving and liquidating the estate

Locating beneficiaries

Hiring experts, when appropriate

Valuing and managing the estate

I assist executors with the arduous process of collecting, managing, valuing, protecting and liquidating the assets of the estate. When appropriate, I call upon accountants, financial advisors, real estate agents, property managers and other professionals to assist with executor duties. I can access expert opinions about unique assets such as antiques, rare books, automobiles and other collectibles for accurate valuation, management and possible sale.
